i knew for sure that john kerry won all three of his debates against george bush. but of course he didn't. this is a good time to think about what it means to win a debate. in high school and college debates there are judges to decide which debaters who actually won. those debates have real winners. winners who get real trophies. no one got a trophy but plenty of people guessed at who would have gotten a trophy. the question is they were debating for votes and those votes wouldn't be counted until next month. so all of the winner talk you have been hearing is just guessing and all of the guessers have been wrong before. my guess is about who won debates have been wrong many times which is why it was so easy for me to resist guessing who one last night. you know court reporters are smarter about this. court reporters have seen high priced defense lawyers deliver brilliant closing arguments. court reporters don't even say who won. they wait, they wait hours sometimes days for the jury to vote and then tell them who won. court reporters see lawyers with the best argum

let's listen. >> the irony is rudy giuliani, probably the most underqualified man since george bush to seek the presidency, is here talking about the people here. rudy giuliani, there's only one things he mentioned in a sentence, a noun, a verb, and 9/11. >> i remember that line, very, very well. i had a ryan staffer tell me that they were going back and looking at some of the research, that not only did biden do very well in his debates, but david plouffe, the obama strategist, wrote in his book part of the reason obama picked biden was because he was impressed with his debate performance. he's a 40-year veteran, and he's going to be a capable debater. when joe biden was debating in '87 and '88 when he ran for president the first time, paul ryan was in high school. so there's going to be, i think, a fascinating age gap there on that stage. joe biden is not somebody that's going to come out there and sort of stumble around. it's possible he could commit a gaffe, but the ryan folks that i talked to are getting ready for, you know, the chairman of the foreign relations committee, not the

george bush was not prepared. john kerry was. he tightened the race. >> speaker gingrich, i want to ask you, the president was criticized for seeming lackluster in his responses. do you think the stylistic things matter? >> i think george had it right in the sense that -- character is part of, ultimately, you don't know what crisis will emerge a year from now. the character of the person does matter. you had it right. 90 minutes with no editing, no breaks. you begin to watch these two people interact with the moderator. you get a different sense than you do from tv commercials. i thought romney was helped. because the obama campaign spent three months portraying him as a person he's not. people saw him and said, wait a second. that's not the guy i have been frightened about. just as reagan in 1980 was suddenly more reasonable than the carter caricature of him was. so these things do matter, i think. and think the challenge for president obama was -- a little bit like george h.w. bush -- i got the sense that first night that he wa

but i want to warn some of my democratic friends that, you know, this is exactly what george bush said about bill clinton in 1992, that he'll say anything to get elected. while i think it's important, i think it's also important for democrats not to get too caught up on this. they have to continue to remind voters that even on the positions that romney is consistent on, that theyre very unpopular positions. he wants to, you know, raise taxes on the middle class. it's the only way he can pay for his tax plan. there's no other way to do it. >> well, he said he's not going to do that. he said he's not going to do it. >> and i think that that's a debate democrats will win. i think the medicare position he's taken has been shown poll after poll among seniors to be unbelievably unpopular and i think democrats have to get that point across. preexisting conditions under a romney administration, regardless of what he says, will be out the window if he has his way for tens of millions of americans. >> please, honestly, julian, you can't go on and deal with all of his lies. we don't have -- >> th

this is something that george w. bush pursued in his second term. paul ryan had been a proponent of that at that time. he'd since dropped it from his plans by the time mitt romney was getting around to endorsing paul ryan's plans. joe biden went there tonight. should we see that as the intention of the democratic side to go there, holding the republicans accountable for paul ryan's old idea and george w. bush's old idea to privatize social security? >> i think it was one of joe biden's best moments. there's no question where paul ryan stood. even before the stock market crash, he was arguing we should go to privatizing social security. when people lost 30, 40% or more of their savings, he was still clinging to this crazy notion. joe biden put him on the spot tonight. he had to admit it. the same thing held true for medicare. joe biden would not allow paul ryan to dance away from his crazy views. >> on the issue of afghanistan, it was confusing on the surface and more confusing the deeper they got. my sense is that the difference between the two camp
